LGBTQ+ Celeb Couples Who Have Re-Written The Meaning Of Love In Hollywood
Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison
Jodie Foster and Alexandra Hedison married in 2014 after dating for a year. Hedison is a photographer, and Foster is an actress. In April 2014, she married Hedison in a private ceremony. Foster was careful to keep their relationship private until things got more serious for them, and the couple never publicly announced their engagement.
They prefer to keep their marriage private, but when Foster received the prestigious Honorary Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in July 2021, Hedison joined Foster on the red carpet. When they’re with people they don’t know, they’re very private, but when they’re together, it’s as if they’re in their own world.
Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli
Samira Wiley of “The Handmaid’s Tale” and Lauren Morelli of “Orange Is the New Black” got married in 2017. They got to know each other on the set of “Orange Is the New Black,” which is written by Morelli, while Wiley played ‘Poussey Washington.’ In 2014, Morelli came out as a lesbian, divorcing her two-year husband and starting a relationship with Wiley.

They began as friends before becoming engaged in 2016 and marrying in 2017. They welcomed their first child on May 9, 2021. The couple has their own Californian bungalow, which is decorated with quirky and feminine prints throughout, which represent their personality. In March 2022, they marked their fourth wedding anniversary.
Chely Wright and Lauren Blitzer
Lauren Blitzer is the VP of Business Development at Sony Music Entertainment, where she has worked for the past decade, and Chely Wright is an American activist, author, and country music, artist. Wright met LGBTQ civil rights activist Blitzer, and not only was the timing perfect, but after coming out, Wright felt free to pursue the relationship without fear of hiding, as she had in the past.

The couple married in a beautiful ceremony attended by 200 guests in Connecticut. Wright announced her pregnancy with identical twins on January 23, 2013. On May 18, 2013, Wright gave birth to George Samuel and Everett Joseph.
Melissa Etheridge and Linda Wallem
Melissa Etheridge, a rock singer, found new love with Linda Wallem, an actress, writer, and producer. They’ve been best friends for a very long time. After her divorce from her first wife, Etheridge invited Wallem, who was then the showrunner of “Nurse Jackie,” to live with her and her four children on platonic terms in 2010.

They married in front of 100 guests in Santa Barbara in 2014. Etheridge’s children from her previous relationship pushed her to date again. They initially intended to work together professionally, but fate had different plans. Along with the many things the couple enjoys doing together are slow dancing at home in front of the kids.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are considered LGBTQ icons because they have been courageous in living their truths for so long. In 2008, DeGeneres and de Rossi legally married in California. The couple has no intention of having children, but the couple has collaborated on the most significant philanthropic efforts to preserve wildlife—even their home in Los Angeles is filled with rescued animals!

In their first year of dating, De Rossi and DeGeneres began living together. Portia was granted the right to legally change her name from Portia de Rossi to Portia Lee James DeGeneres two years after they married.
